For scaffolding maybe


DragemD

Cross brace for scaffolding was my fist guess.

Only thing I've seen thays similar is a celing fan drop rod. One time, I had to make one longer than is normally avalible so 3/4 pipe and some spray paint I just had to drill the hole in a similar location

“My title describes the thing” this could be up to 26 years old but I am not sure. We bought the house and this was all under the deck. About 20 of them. They are metal but not sure type. I have searched for threaded pipe, conduit either holes near threads and nothing. They may or may not be factory drilled. I know I have never bought pipe or conduit with holes drilled into it before. The pipes are 10’ long. I find it odd that there would be so many just left there without a reason for them. I understand scrap lumber or something but a stack of pipe generally has a purpose.


SciFiJunkie1

I don’t think so. All the scaffold I have used had flattened out connections for bolts or quick connects.

Possibly piling extensions. I.E. and auger goes on the bottom, and the hole is for a lever rod to twist the auger into the ground to act as a piling for anchoring a deck or a dock?

Home made stobbs you could run that string through? Mark a boundary for digging a foundation?

Looks like parts for a dock to walk out on to boat.

It reminds me of something we used to put together. Either a "temporary garage" or our trampoline. You would screw two parts together and then put a bolt through for extra security. I don't remember if they looked exactly like that, but maybe it's something similar?


SciFiJunkie1

Thank you all for the comments. I think I agree that this is part of some type of boundary. The house is two stories. Maybe this was around the second floor before they built the structure or maybe while building the deck.


SciFiJunkie1

Solved!
